DTC C1711: Front Height Control Sensor RH Circuit Malfunction; DTC C1712: Front Height Control Sensor LH Circuit Malfunction; DTC C1713: Rear Height Control Sensor RH Circuit Malfunction; DTC C1714: Rear Height Control Sensor LH Circuit Malfunction (TO 08/2009): Procedure

  1. INSPECT HEIGHT CONTROL SENSOR 
    1. Check the front height control sensor:
      1. Disconnect the height control sensor front RH connector or height control sensor front LH connector.
        NOTE:

        Do not drop the height control sensor. If it is dropped, replace it with a new one.
